Race Recap

I've been too busy to blog. Here is a quick recap of the latest:

Groundhog 7 miler - Zionsville, IN
Date: Sunday, February 7, 2010
Division: Female 30-34
Conditions: Cold (~30 F), icy and snowy - Paved trail and street course
Time: 1:05:31
Pace: 9:22
Division Place: 6/22
Overall Finish: 171/267

I've never run a 7 mile race before so this was a PR for the distance as well as a PR for overall race pace. This race was fun and free! It's definitely making the race list for next year.

Polar Bear 5 miler - Indianapolis, IN
Date: Saturday, February 20, 2010
Division: Female 30-34
Conditions: Cold (~34 F) - Street course downtown
Time: 44:05
Pace: 8:49
Division Place: 14/74
Overall Finish: 295/786

This race was a PR for the distance by at least 5 minutes (I'll have to dig through my old race info to find the time from the last 5 miler I ran) and a huge PR for overall pace. I never imagined I would see a sub-9 minute mile this early in the season. Extra bonus: No blisters and no dead toe nails.
